The relationship between dietary pattern and serum C-reactive protein concentration / 中华预防医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to explore the relationship between dietary pattern and C-reactive protein (CRP) in Xiamen residents, 2 904 subjects from 3 districts of Xiamen City were selected by a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. The food frequency questionnaire was used for dietary survey and serum CRP concentration was determined simultaneously. The dietary model was established by factor analysis and the relationship between different dietary patterns and serum CRP concentration was analyzed. Five dietary patterns were obtained by the factor analysis. After the adjustment of gender, age, occupation, education, marriage status, income, smoking, drinking and body mass index, the healthy dietary pattern was negative associated with the serum CRP concentration [OR(95%CI)0.62(0.42-0.90)]. The Serum CRP concentration of residents with a healthy dietary pattern is lower.
